You can use the org.json library to convert your json string to a JSONArray which you can then iterate over.
For example:
String jsonString = "[[\"Air Fortress\",\"5639\"],[\"Altered Beast\",\"6091\"],[\"American Gladiators\",\"6024\"],[\"Bases Loaded II: Second Season\",\"5975\"],[\"Battle Tank\",\"5944\"]]";
List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> ids = new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray array = new JSONArray(jsonString);
for(int i = 0 ; i < array.length(); i++){
JSONArray subArray = (JSONArray)array.get(i);
String name = (String)subArray.get(0);
names.add(name);
String id = (String)subArray.get(1);
ids.add(id);
}
//to convert the lists to arrays
String[] nameArray = names.toArray(new String[0]);
String[] idArray = ids.toArray(new String[0]);
You can even use a regex to get the job done, although its much better to use a json library to parse json:
List<String> names = new ArrayList<String>();
List<String> ids = new ArrayList<String>();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("\"(.*?)\",\"(.*?)\"") ;
Matcher m = p.matcher(s);
while(m.find()){
names.add(m.group(1));
ids.add(m.group(2));
}
